I only have one featurelayer that will be shown in the templatePicker and have gotten everything to work correctly. I am trying to get the background of the templatePicker to be transparent instead of white.

Is there a way to select the template using code, instead of actually clicking on it? Since I only have one featurelayer template, I thought it might be easier to just have a regular toggle button that when clicked, selected my only template from the templatePicker.

I've included a screen shot below. As you can see, there's a background I'd like to show through the TemplatePicker (that Add Project stuff). I've figured out how to change the font colours quite easily but I'd like the background to be completely transparent. I've tried the background-color:transparent on .templatePicker .grid with no luck and just on .templatePicker but I can't seem to figure it out.
